Can you permanently delete a Nintendo Account
I have a delete switch here that is going to show you how to delete a user. It is a very simple process, so first thing you need to do is go to the “Users” tab. Once you are in the “Users” tab, find the user that you want to delete and click on the trash can icon next to their name. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete the user. Click “OK” and the user will be deleted from your account.
Purchases on the Nintendo Switch eShop are tied to the Nintendo Account that made the purchase. You can register one primary console per Nintendo Account. Once you’ve registered a primary console, your digital purchases can be played by anyone that uses the primary console.
What happens when a Nintendo Account expires?
If you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can back up your game data to the cloud. However, if your membership expires, you will not be able to access your save data backups. Nintendo will allow users who resubscribe within 180 days to access their previous save data backups.
If you delete a user account from your Nintendo Switch console, any save data that is associated with that account will also be deleted. This data cannot be restored, so be sure to backup your save data using the Save Data Cloud backup feature if you want to keep it.
Does deleting Nintendo Network ID delete everything?
Deleting your Nintendo Network ID will also delete all Nintendo eShop licenses and balances on both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems. Deleted Nintendo Network accounts cannot be recovered. This includes ALL purchases or funds lost when the account is deleted.
There is a problem with your account and you need to contact customer support.

How many Nintendo Accounts can you have?
Player data and settings are unique to each user account. Multiple user accounts can be created on a single Nintendo Switch console, and a user account can also be linked to a Nintendo Account.
Up to 8 user accounts can be created on the Nintendo Switch. Each user account has its own saves, settings, and personal data. A user account can be linked to a Nintendo Account at any time after it is created.
When you buy a digital game, it is stored on your Nintendo Account ID. You can redownload the game as many times as you want, so you will never lose the game. This is a great way to save space on your system.
What happens if I lose My Nintendo Switch games
If your Nintendo game is published more than 90 days ago, or you don’t have a proof of purchase, we cannot offer a warranty repair. This also includes games that were purchased used or that are physically damaged. We recommend purchasing a replacement copy of the game at a retailer.
If you lose a physical game, you’ll have to buy it again. However, if you replace it, you can continue your game progress from where you left off.
What happens if you don’t renew Nintendo Switch Online?
If you turn off automatic renewal for your Nintendo Switch Online membership, you will continue to have access to the service for the time you have already paid for. Once that time expires, your membership will end and you will no longer have access to the service.
Nintendo Accounts can only be created by users age 13 and older. This is because the Nintendo Account service is intended for users age 13 and older. If you are under the age of 13, you will not be able to create a Nintendo Account.

There is no visible activity requirement for Nintendo accounts, and Nintendo does not delete inactive accounts.
If you have an inactive Nintendo account, there is a chance that Nintendo will delete your account. This is usually done in order to clean up their database and get rid of inactive accounts. If you want to keep your account active, make sure to login and use it on a regular basis.
